Thank you to Sourcebooks Young Readers for the gifted ebook of Pencilvania!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Pencilvania was described as a cross between The Phantom Tollbooth and Harold and the Purple Crayon.  These are two of my childhood favorites so I was immediately excited to read it.  Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to that comparison for me.  While I liked the concept of Pencilvania, the world felt underdeveloped.  I was expecting Zora and Frankie to spend more time in Pencilvania, but a lot of the story is told in the real world and in flashbacks.  I wanted to like it, but it just wasn't for me.
